Haute Like Fire: Jordin Sparks Channels Aaliyah With New Sleek Hairstyle

» By Jada Gomez-Lacayo @jadagomez on November 27, 2012, 10:00am

Well hello, gorgeous! Singing beauty and style chameleon Jordin Sparks has kicked off the holiday season with a new hairstyle.  She tried on Aaliyah’s classic swoop for size, with long dark tresses layering her face, and debuted her look on Instagram last night. Of course, she topped off her style with Aaliyah‘s signature pose that’s become just as timeless as the late singer. This is not the first time Jordin has emulated the “Rock The Boat” singer. She was selected by the late Whitney Houston as the lead in Sparkle, a role originally slated for Aaliyah. And it seems like she’s honored to follow in her footsteps.

We loved Jordin’s auburn ombre look of the summer, and she’s looking beautiful in her latest. She’s giving us ideas for the next time we hit the salon chair!

Did Jordin nail Aaliyah’s classic look? Check out more photos below.

  • thereal

    Made me feel a lil uneasy. Why is she trying to emulate her? There will never be another Aaliyah.

  • JAMIE LEE

  • Philly stand UP

    I dislike the comparison…

  • John

    :) ! They look alike, maybe Jordin will be the next Aaliyah, not in the person since cause there is only ONE Aaliyah, but maybe in the music scene she can bring back GOOD music. Maybe she’ll even play Aaliyah in the movie hell she already played Sparkle which Aaliyah was supposed too and did a damn good job!

  • Annonymous

    She’ll end up being a sacrifice like Aaliyah too. She better wake up before it is too late.

    I dont know why she even did this! Just be yourself! Thats the problem these days, everybody want to look like somebody else!

  • Jen

    yall something…I don’t think she is trying to be JUST LIKE Aaliyah. She is a big fan of hers…just like someone wearing a replica of the Thriller legendary red jacket and wavy hair to resemble Michael Jordan. Let her live! JORDIN is gorgeous!
